Getting Started
This chapter gives you important information and examples to get you started
using your packet radio station.
+ This chapter assumes you are using radio port 1 of the TNC to get started. All
the examples in this chapter work just the same if you are using port 2, but at the
baud rate in effect for port 2 instead of the port 1 baud rate. See the Command
Reference for (1) instructions on using “multi-port” commands that operate with
port 1 and port 2 and (2) instructions for operating each multi-port command.
We assume you have installed your station and familiarized yourself with the use
of Pacterm with your KPC-9612 Plus, as covered in the chapters on “Installing
your KPC-9612 Plus” and “Pacterm.”
Hint: If you are familiar with other communication software, you may use it in-
stead of Pacterm. In this case, you need to be aware that Kantronics’ documenta-
tion and support services assume the use of Pacterm, at least for getting started.
If you have not yet installed your station, including Pacterm communication
software, and learned how to use Pacterm, we suggest that you do so before con-
tinuing with this chapter.
